    These are a few good sites, each offers a 10 generation calculator:

    www.iarelative.com/charts --a 10-generation chart that can printed out into a single, 8 1/2 by 11 sheet (click on the RED link) with instructions how to use it.

    www.genealogy.about.com--has all kinds of links to genealogy in left column (in red), plus a cousin calculator in the center column.

    www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc : has a downloadable cousin calculator, but you will need JAVASCRIPT to run the program. Or, at www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc/#BORING_TA... is a 10-generation chart that can be printed off.

    I have noticed in Yahoo! genealogy, every one has a different notion about these things. The way I was taught, a child of your grandmother (not your parent) would be your fist cousin. For each generation going back (great grandmother, great-great grandmother) the number would increase: i.e., grandmother - first cousin; great-grandmother - second cousin; great-great grandmother - third cousin, and so on.

    Sometimes it is easiest to just line it out. Call your great grandmother Alice and her brother Andrew, their children Barbara and Bruce, and so on:

    Alice & Andrew = Siblings

    Barbara & Bruce = 1st cousins

    Carla & Charles = 2nd cousins

    Dimkasmir & Daniel = 3rd cousins

    There are two ways to do it; children with a common "n" great grandparents are "n+2" cousins

    (1st great GP = 3rd cousins,

    2nd great GP = 4th cousins

    and so on

    or, children of Nth cousins are N+1 cousins. Children of 2nd cousins are 3rd cousins, etc.

    3rd Cousins.

    Your grandparents would have been 1st cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's children.

    Your parents would have been 2nd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's grandchildren.

    You are 3rd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's great-grandchildren.
